Urgent Appeal for Ebola Donations

The UN Chief Ban Ki-moon has launched another urgent appeal for funds to help fight Ebola after a $1bn trust fund he launched in September has received just $100,000 so far. The appeal comes amid a growing chorus of world leaders criticizing the global effort to tackle the Ebola outbreak. The disease has killed about 4,500 people so far, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
